Whitefleck, you missed the point. My idea isn't new at all, it's what most saved files do! Load times? Rendering the whole thing is done anyway, there's no worry! Just loading the track data files that are already built does the same thing, because they are stored in very simplistic ways too. These "load times" would just be drawing the whole track, which is then stored in RAM so it doesn't need to be repeatedly built during the race.
However as I said, my point is that that's how ALL save files work. The construction happens VERY quickly you know.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
